Bosnian politics have deteriorated in recent years. Since the October 2010 elections, the political parties have been unable to reach agreement on the formation of a new governing coalition at the state level. Bosnian politics today are marked by increased nationalist rhetoric, which sometimes threatens the country’s peace, stability and territorial integrity, and the parties’ unwillingness to work constructively with the representatives of the international community. Though Bosnia has made considerable progress in its recovery from the brutal conflict which began in early 1992 and lasted until the signing of the Dayton Peace Accords in late 1995, the parties have failed in their attempts to move beyond Dayton compromises, which, though needed to end the conflict, have hindered the efficient and effective government needed to achieve Euro-Atlantic and European integration. The briefing will look at the sources of the political impasse and examine possible courses of action for the international community.
